The legendary Box and 1 Game | When Curry took on the Raptors in the 2019 Finals 

Curry's legacy will be love from casual fans, but true respect from analysts like yourself.

Casual fans and even most of the media don’t understand this concept, and thus Steph is critically undervalued. Lethal with the ball, lethal without the ball, the maestro of the greatest offense of all-time. Thank you for this video.

Holy crap this is like the Pistons following Jordan around LOL the impact Steph is creating is amazing

That's why so many casuals don't recognize Curry as an all time great offensive player. They can't see that his gravity bends defenses out of shape, making it easy for his teammates to excel. This ignorance is why his teammates have FMVP throphies instead of Curry. Steph is the true MVP.

Dissected the Raptors last night. His footwork, timing, patience, and scoring were all just tremendous. People just dont understand exactly how great he is because they dont watch anything other than the ball.

This man is so good that defenses HAVE to overplay him like this, because if they don’t he’s probably going for 30+ by the 3rd quarter on godlike efficiency and blowing you out.

Steph's impact with and without having the ball is one of the more prominent reasons as to why KD came in the 1st place.

You could very reasonably argue Steph is the most valuable player in the NBA.

curry is the only person in NBA history to draw a triple team without the ball.

Man Steph can have 0 points game and still have huge impact on the game becouse of that gravity and offense that gsw runs Its honestly amazing to watch

Unfortunately, analysts from the media don't see it this way and will criticize him based on the stat sheet

4:09 "In this case, Van Vleet chased Curry around the court like it was recess…" 🤣🤣🤣

Exquisite shooters require more attention, and sometimes double teams on weak side switches. Durant, Korver, (a few years younger verison,) Klay, and Thompson are players who shoot amazing, but force the defense to suck in and pay attention by how they run around and cause disruption. Reddick also comes to mind. Curry sets many screens, sacrifices his body to draw charges, excellent ball handling probably one of the best. And hes the deadliest sniper of all time. Curry has changed how we see the game, and the crazy thing is Steph is content with being 2nd best player to KD. We have seen how far the Golden State Warriors can go, when hes clicking on all optimal levels. But hes a team player, rarely causes chemistry issues, and has been okay with being 2nd fiddle after being 1st. We forget basketball is a team sport, what else could you realistically say? The splash brothers have cultivated a culture and modernized the NBA landscape. But Curry is the catalyst for it all.

Steph is so underrated, very few players in HISTORY deserve such attention. They literally ran a box and1 against him like wtf lol

This video needed to be made, and it did not disappoint. Thank you!!

Can we please send this to ESPN

This is what makes him the best player in the NBA. Do you think Harden or Giannis or Kawhi move without the ball and create that kind of reaction from defences for their teammates!?

Steph might never win Finals MVP, but this unselfishness just might be these Warriors' legacy: Their best player always allowed others to shine instead of diminishing them.

Curry rules>any other defensive strategy. Double triple teams box and one. Hes an all time great. A leader a great guy. Much much respect. Salute.

Someone has so much hate for curry that they disliked this video. Wow

I was like Curry had decent game and I was surprised when everybody was like Curry played bad. Curry standing behind the 3 point line creates so much gravity , which allows others to get easier shots.

Every time Steph is double teamed and his team scores a bucket, he should be given an assist.

Someone needs to show this to Max Kellerman. Like I've noticed Curry has this effect, but it's hard to prove to someone without any concrete video examples...but Thinking Basketball always comes through in that regard. Great video as always!

I thought us Steph fans were just crazy lol we ain’t joking when we say #Gravity 🗣🗣🗣

Damn, Curry's existence alone disrupts defense. What a guy!

Like the earth, Steph has a massive mass on the court which pulls players. 😂

on point analysis, I love it! TNT should hire you as an analyst!

can you please do a longer than usual video (for you)(20-30) all about everything that curry does. he is simply just too amazing

Better than bball breakdown right now

Curry has the most gravity of any player since Shaq

Elevating offense into an art form.

Yall know how bigger celestial bodies have greater gravity and pull smaller celestial bodies towards them? Steph's gravity works the other way around because usually he is the smallest guy on the court and still he makes defenders form a double, triple and sometimes a quadruple team.

Damn, they never leave curry open.. even without the ball lol

What truly makes him great is his understanding of his effect on the defense, and his willingness to be a decoy to set up his teammates. Yes, he can't physically dominate like a bigger player, but his impact makes up for it (his teammates have to hit shots)

Steph single handed destroy Toronto defense with his movement no one does it like him even when he score not so much in game 2 is such a force even if he wasnt 100% ....amazing to watch

It’s crazy how he still averaged 30 points in the finals being guarded like this 😂😂

Best RU-vidr hands down. Keep up the great work man!!!

This is the reality of golden state greatness. NBA opposing team coaches’ nightmare Curry’s shooting; curry’s unselfishness; curry’s ability to impact the game with or without the ball in his hands; curry’s wisdom and embracing strength in numbers and love to win more than his individual stat...

4:16 "Vanvleet chased him around like it was recess" Oh my god that got to me. I don't know why tho.

That's what make Steph such a special player, dangerous with the ball and without the ball. The small little things he did helping the warriors winning the game. I'm not surprised because in Warriors there are many players with such traits like Draymond and Klay. They are so ridiculously too team oriented and not selfish. Leaving behind personal accolade for the sake of winning game and championships. Willing to have pay cut just to ensure they get Durant. That's why The Warriors managed to assemble this Dynasty, simply superior team culture.

Imagine running around the court for 40 minutes and still making all those shots AMAZING !!!!😉

stuff like this doesn't show up in the XX/YY/ZZ box numbers and I think that's where he's most underrated

his play reminds me of a soccer player in the way that he passes and moves to get it back... maybe why hes so hard to guard they’re not used to guarding that

Props for this. Its a shame you know more basketball than espn but they make money off dumb takes smh

In every game the chef is the most battered and bruised because of triple team, banging bodies and traps on him. That's absolute gravity.

that is thinking basketball my friends

Dude.. that was amazing breakdown!

It's so clear to see when watching him live how he manipulates the defense without even having the ball

Great video as always Ben, please never stop sharing !!!!!!!

WOW SO WHO HAVE SEEN ALL OF THIS ACTION OF SC30 . . . UNBELIEVBLE NOW YOU MADE ME REALIZED ONE MORE THING SC30 IS TRUELY MY FMVP

Do the MVP voters see this kind of stuff?

So essentially Curry is dark matter?

he should be playoff mvp, finals mvp glosses over the quality play of players like steph in favour of nice numbers

The 2nd assists, chances created and the space creation concept are things that need to come basketball.

Only those don't know basketball think KD is the best player in Warriors.

I appreciate your analysis unlike many reporters who forget that basketball is a team sport you show how Curry benefits the whole team an not his individual stats.

Casual fans only see stats but those with a real analytic mind will see the depth on Curry's game. Because many things Steph did on the court was unwritten stat. Like if we can have a new stat called "Screen to score" "gravity points", his impact on the court will be more visualized by casual fans.

Lol your like/dislike ratio is insane. 1K vs 6 at the moment. Great content!

look how defeated patbev looks at 3:24...not the biggest steph fan but after getting educated on his game, im starting to build some appreciate for him

People think of him as a one trick guy But ironically he has the most options on court. Like he said he can set screens, run pick and roll, make a cut, reject the screen and shoot, creat iso shots, OR start running around which will open up all of the above in multiple locations. in all the scenerio the margin of error in defence is so low because he is the best shooter. That's why he needs more attention than anybody off ball. Cause he'll convert loose defense into a high percentage shot

See everyone but the media knows the greatnes off steph curry the attention he gets from the defense will create shot for others and he still averages 28 points in the play offs

This is the only youtube channel where i watch every single video without skipping a second. I would honestly pay money to watch this

I love these kinds of analysis videos, new sub here. I like how it breaks down what is actually going on. Cuz some people only rely on points to determine if the SG or PG is good or not.

Fantastic job of an analysis. Curry deserves a lot of credit and respect.

Does all this but "analysts" like max Kellerman continue to slander how Great this dude truly is. Its a shame the media will never allude to his gravity as part of his greatness. They're fixated with braindead 1 on 1 play hence why the media has brainwashed the casual to thinking Kevin Durant is better than this dude lmao

wow.. That was a great analysis

Good thing he didn’t sprain his ankle @ 2:11 landing on Powell’s foot after the shot. Dodged a bullet.

I used to think the same without any proof.......and now uve just given me one...thank you

Excellent work again. Keep these videos coming. And please don't go to ESPN! 😂

Thank you for this video! This is my exact sentiment for those media and pundits discrediting Steph. Like people saying he isn't clutch, and that Draymond and Klay are better at the moment, which is disrespectful. Steph is the Warriors' system, the offense starts with him, and opponents set their defense strategy by taking away Steph because they know it will have a better chance of stopping Warriors rather than locking down Klay or Dray or KD, disrupt the system and it might fail. He gets doubled/tripled team even without the ball! Assists is just overrated, ball movement starts with Steph, sure he is not the last one to pass but the ball moves because of him, not like Harden or Russ who hugs the ball the full 15-20secs then elects to pass. And now they are saying he isn't favoured to be the mvp because he shrinks in the final minutes, the raptors are smart, not like rockets and blazers who didn't lock down Steph (box&1) in the final minutes and Steph killed them. Steph Curry is the underrated player that people/media keeps on discrediting for some unknown agenda or whatever, he changed the game because of his style of play and still people don't want to recognise that...

Beautiful video my man

love it when black holes and orange hoops come together

This is why Durant was setting finals records.

You are simply so much better and smart than all these other Tv analytics out there ...great content man

My man you’re my favorite basketball youtuber but it’s 1 am

Wow finally found a basketball Channel that isn’t trash and always talks about bullshit stats and actually focuses on the game theory

If Draymond could shoot threes consistently, the Warriors would be even more unstoppable than they already are.

steph is one of the most underrated and disrespected all time greats. there i said it. part of it feels like its cause hes light skinned, which isnt cool, but also partly cause of the situation he wound up in was perfect for him, which isnt even his fault. sure theres a different world where he was actually drafted by the twolves or fell to the knicks and became no better than seth curry... but lifes unfair... and it sucks. but dont hate on steph for that cause hes actually really good, and not just because of ridiculous shooting. hes also a really good playmaker, pretty decent at finishing around the basket, and a not bad defender. and hes not as wimpy or weak as some people might think, dude doesnt get bulldozed like other smallish guards if he ends up having to defend in the post, probably cause he has a ridiculously strong base... i heard that one season he deadlifted more than anyone else on the team besides festus ezili, who is a large ogreish stonehanded monster human. also he seems like a wholesome dude.

Love the RU-vid vids and the podcast keep up the good work

Wow! Thank you for this video. The analysis you made on how Steph played is what i am telling myself and which i didn't hear much from the media. This is a woman of 65 commenting here. I started to love watching basketball game because of Michael Jordan. When Michael stop, i lost the excitement in basketball till Tim Duncan came then now here comes Steph Curry. I love the way how he introduce 3 points which is now being practice by almost every NBA players. This is one way of having less contact with the opponent. I love his unselfish ways. Thank you so much. God bless you Steph, Draymond, Klay, Andre, Boogie, Andre, Kevin and everyone in the Warriors team. You will be the 2019 Champion.

Steph bout to win Finals MVP!

This is why he should have been Finals MVP in 15. The attention he drew is why Iguodala had all those open shots.

Love this channel keep up the good work 👍

Does anyone remember the cavs allowing wide open fast break dunks, because they didn't want to leave curry open at the 3pt line? I remember. I've never seen anything like that in all my years watching basketball.

the problem with the raptors defense in game 2 is that their pack line defense got cracked, no wonder why cousins played a major role in the game ill explain this later, you see...curry already has gravity, it is not "undetected" but on the contrary is pretty notable to keep your eyes on him since he is a lethal shooter from the perimeter. the problem with the raptors pack line defense is that it leaves a weak side in the corners, and possibly the wings depending on how the pack it leans towards certain wing, if the pack leans to the right wing automatically that leaves the window open for a cut on the weak side, the solution for the gsw is that curry and klay move as much as possible to disrupt the defense and there are some instances were raptors move onto a triangle defense guarding klay and curry and if the spacing is wrong it leaves the paint wide open for another player to make the cut to the basket, i think curry did 2 of his screens this way in the game...now the problem with cousins is that he also has some gravity in him, right now he looks as an underdog due to his injuries but his playstyle is pretty aggresive, they were times were he pushed the ball and due to not getting him checked allows him to playmake, this gravity forces gasol to go and defend him instead of being in the paint, the other problem with him is that he has a good perimeter shooting thats why we see the box more spread open and of course he fought for those 50/50 balls and got 10 rebounds (rebounding that they lacked in game 1) , the problem with this defense setup is curry...he cracks the box and leaves the weak side either the corners, the wings or both open for a perimeter shot, and depending where the box is, either it opens either the whole restricted area or the top of the key for a wide open shot.

Thank you for making this video, whenever people make this point it’s always laughed at or seen as fanboying. This video finally gives it context.

Bro that vid pointed out so much like I catch a good amount of it when watching but when its is straight play after play after play that he destroys entire defenses by tuning around it is almost hilarious to think that this guy straight up makes other teams completely revamp there defenses to stop him and he still has 4 all star teammates 🙏 KD better leave and Cousins cause I’m tryna see some fair finals... (This one is actually gonna be really interesting and I honestly don’t wanna see KD come back because it’s so much better basketball to watch when he’s out more competitive and even basketball 🤷‍♂️) Nice vid keep it up your going places 4 sure

thank you for the video!!

the greatest of all time. you cant be the greatest and not make your teammates greater. you all were calling kd a disappointment, and andrew wiggins a bust, said iguodala was over the hill, gp2 wasnt good enough for the league, sean livingston was finished due to losing his explosiveness with the injury... he made all of these guys legends. i dont wanna hear it lol

Even the Raptors coach was marking him

Am I the only one who thinks Curry was fouled by both defenders in that final play?

Wow, i like this one! A big like!

same thing last last last last year for real 2018 2017 2016 2015 thats why curry cant win a fmvp for real💯

The media so stuck on scoring while dismissing Curry overall ability to create opportunities for his team which makes him great.

I don’t care what anyone says durant is not better than this fool.

Is that not worth for a MVP finals award? Despite the opposing team defense really focused more on him as if they doubled triple guard him but still he got to score 20s!!!! Come on ppg is the only basis but still he help his team to won !!! Lets go 3peat!!!

And because of this reason. This unselfishness of steph he may have let the MVP trophy go away. There goes your fmvp chances again Mr. CURRY. But that's i think why they will win the chip again. 3PEAT COMING!!!

Thank you for this video. I am NOT a steph or warriors fan at the slightest but Stephs impact in terms of his gravity and creating for teammates using it is and unreal soft skill that people take for granted.

Don't show this video to the casuals who only look at stats

And this is why he needs to be finals MVP!
